tay
The term "TAY" doesn't have a widely recognized general definition, as its meaning often depends on the context. However, it could be an abbreviation or acronym for something like 'transition age youth' in social services, which refers to young people typically between the ages of 16-24 who are transitioning into adulthood. Of course, in another context it could mean something completely different, so if there's a specific context or usage you're wondering about, more information might be needed to provide an accurate definition.
